Not really a recommendation, but I figured this was the best place to ask since I haven't noticed the Jimmy Eat World thread for ages, should I buy Static Prevails? I've been meaning to for ages and now I finally have some money...

I just don't know pretty much anything at all that sounds like American Football and I love them. Why did they break up?

Because virtually anything with the name "Kinsella" in it ends within a year and a half

But try;

The Appleseed Cast (download Mare Vitalis)
The Album Leaf
Braid
The Early November has some very AF-influenced songs... (Figure it out?)
Jimmy Eat World
The National League (it's some random dude's solo project, but it's exactly like AF)
Sunnyday Real Estate

Not all of them are EXACTLY like AF, but they're all damn good bands.

Lord, I could never show you anything as beautiful as You.

I really need a band that just rocks. I'm looking for something in mostly major keys with fun, happy vocals and lots of power chords. I want one of those bands that you just blast in your car and it is EPIC.

So basically something that feels like the writer is in a big rut and wants to get out by becoming something amazing yet at the same time thinkin maybe he'll never get there. Something lonely, and lonely out of choice because he's ditched everyone 'cause he has no time for them but then he still feels lonely but better than before now he's away from it all...

These aren't all entirely matching what you wanted, but you'll love anyway...
